Non DVC member Incredipass holder here. Please explain to me why I have to make a park reservation when staying at a disney resort using my annual pass. I am on property at a disney hotel same as a date based ticket holder; so why the discrepancy in park ressie requirements between us?

We had done it once back in mid 2010's. We were going to disney several times a year and legitimately wanted to see what it was about and what it would cost, etc. We got $100 Disney Gift Card (each), 3 fast passes each (any attraction) and when they dumped us out of the presentation/sit down...

I think the ride itself is a solid 8/10 (points deducted only for length or ride). Music is 10/10! ride vehicles 10/10 Exterior Queue is 2/10 and doesn't set up for the typical level of Disney Immersion like Rise. Corridor to reveal room is shockingly embarrassing and looks like 6 flags...

Used to have annual passes and go multiple times a year since 2013. Some week long trips with some random long weekends throw in. Past several years it’s been intermittent annual passes. We will NOT be renewing after looking at the rack rates for our next trip. Granted they will eventually...

Not really a land music, but Tapestry of Nations; even after the parade left it was the world showcase exit music post fireworks. Classic and worth bringing back. Tron queue music, great adaptation of an incredible soundtrack

Funny! Of course not. This is the one thing about this whole reservation system that continues to disprove their narrative that reservations help them for planning and managing capacity, etc. If I am an AP (non FL resident), staying onsite at a disney hotel then count me in the same...

Not really an effect; but I miss the pre safety spiel star tunnel at Space Mountain. I think it was a few years ago the iconic music is now drowned out by a looped safety spiel. Kills the nostalgia for me.

Best moderate, and with the recent room refurbishment the rooms are now a big step up and close to some of the more recent Deluxe offerings (obviously still smaller in sq ft). Out of our last 30 visits over the last decade, if we don't do deluxe we will do POFQ without hesitation! Compact...

I am in the same category, and this bothers me to no end as well. I don't like the AP reservation system to begin with, but if its truly a capacity/staff planning tool (as DIS stated in the beginning ); then why as an out of state AP with a Disney Resort reservation do I have to make a park...

We were recently in BLDG 1, renovated room, standard view queen 3rd floor (so not a corner - pretty sure all corner rooms are king anyway) and we had a walk in shower (no tub combo). We were right near some ADA rooms (thought it strange to have those on the 3rd floor), but ours was standard...

Just stayed building 1 standard view queen room and we had he walk in shower. We have stayed at POFQ a dozen times over the past decade; this renovation is great and really elevates the room to near Deluxe (considering what the new more generic Deluxe rooms are like). Now you are only giving...

they say a picture is worth a thousand words . . .

Magic kingdom definitely sucks a bit since you have to do the extra leg from the TTC. The other parks are fine, sometimes they seemed to run more on a schedule according to the bus drivers. Animal kingdom our entire stay picked up on the 15/45 from the park, and I found this to be easier to...

Well, just received the email today that they are canceling my 10/23 - 10/30 stay, so looks like all of Oct is out.

I am in the same boat as you, 2 rooms booked last week in Oct booked for 7 nights. If you call the hotel directly you of course get a recording to leave a message, so I called the swan directly. They know nothing, and are claiming they have not been told when the Swan Reserve will open, so...
